The cure for carrying other people… xoxo Jennifer

 From the Wide Awakening Weekly- The Cure for Carrying…

“You attempting to feel more comfortable by asking

family or friends to do things ‘your way,’ is about you.

You setting your family and friends free to

figure out ‘their way,’ is about love.”

 ~ Jennifer Hough (Tweetable)

Hi there,

Recently it came to my attention that maybe (just maybe) I was carrying my sweetie pie, Adam. How? Well, I was concerning myself with an aspect of his life that I happen to know a lot about.

Then I remembered, there is not a person alive who does not have the same capacity to connect to infinite wisdom as I do… and at least as many guides and angels.

Carrying is when we worry about another’s life. Often the underlying message that the other feels is that you’re afraid they don’t have the resources to get the answers themselves.

Caring is when you love them without conditions or needing to change them.

In the end, still do what your heart calls you to do, but be very aware of whether it’s about you. It’s hard for others to hear their internal guidance through the drone of your thoughts about their life.

Live YOUR own life! It’s more productive and way more funner.

With Love,

Jennifer xoxoxo

My two favorite words…

When our actions resonate with our purpose and we’re aligned with the Universe’s potential for us, it’s such an expansive feeling.

The feeling of expansiveness validates you are in flow.

The alignment with greater wisdom is translated through our body as feelings of ‘woo hoo’, ‘yes!’, goosebumps, or fun! It’s confirmation that we’re acting and thinking in line with our ‘highest and best’ life, using our skills and personality, creating in the most aligned way.

Being Happy 101

Being Happy 101

Being Happy 101 – With the next Flight School (our nine-month program) about to start, I’m aware of some pretty powerful insights about my own life, ten of them in fact!

One: Reacting to circumstances definitely leads to drama. Drama always takes me out of my knowing, distracting me from my connection with Innate Wisdom.

Two: My happiness absolutely cannot come from circumstances changing. My happiness must be accessible, regardless of circumstances. It cannot be dependent on how the world is, how the people in my life behave, or an expectation that everything should be perfect. Everything is becoming which, by definition, means it isn’t perfect.

Three: It’s not my job to carry the weight of the world. My job is to show up in love and compassion. It’s not my job to make other people happy but rather to learn to be grounded in my heart. It’s not my job to protect my heart but to emanate from the heart.

What if all the beliefs that you adhere to aren’t even yours?

What if all the beliefs that you adhere to aren’t even yours?

Something happened this week that was such a great reminder to remain humble, and know that we are all human. It also reminded me that we are all human and any beliefs that anyone is better than you or I, are simply old beliefs.

This week I was on a beautiful cheer-fest for Money and You with my dear friend Doria Cordova with well-known thought leaders from all over the world. It was a privilege to be included.

The leaders that have taken Money and You are all incredibly humble and so smart…..and you probably know their names; Jack Canfield, Ken Honda just to name a few.

And, there was a leader who was there that behaved a little differently than the others. He also did not exude the humility of the rest. And I realized that he had stuck beliefs and was being righteous, and that I had beliefs about how he should be.
